Listening to the news on the way to work this morning, 2 announcements made me wonder how the warrant news headlines.
India Bans Burning Cow Dung Near Taj Mahal

Apparently it turns the white marble yellow. Ok it's a valid concern but does it really warrant a news headline?

Thought to have been killed by shark.

Ok I know they have a cpl of Great Whites stalking the area, but...a news headline? Really?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Must admit was shocked to read this headline in this morning's news:
Excuse me? Whatever happened to "discreet"
Yuk!

What makes a news item a HEADLINE as opposed to just another snippet of information?

Saw this at the top of the yahoo news page this morning and thought I'd resurrect this thread with it...
Chrissy Teigen gets real about her post-baby body and shares a photo of her stretch marks
Oh wow!
And that warrants a headline!
How shallow can we get?

Target Map have released some new and very interesting data which unveils different average erection sizes from around the world.
According to the diagram, African men have the world's largest penises, whereas men from Asian countries find themselves on the other end of the scale.
The results reveal that men from the African countries highlighted in red, such as Jamaica, Haiti and Ghana, possess the most impressive size in manhood, ranging from 6.3 to 7 inches.

Maybe you should try another news page if the Yahoo news page is not to your liking.
I suppose I am old fashion because Yahoo is not the place I would go to for the latest news.
